"Nightcrawler" - The Darkest Success Story Ever Created

Nightcrawler is the darkest success story ever put on film. We break down why Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the greatest actors alive and how this might be the performance that proves it. We get into how Jake created his entire character from scratch including the hair bun, the weight loss, and the physicality without a single note from the director. We discuss the wild detail that Rene Russo never kisses Lou on screen because she is actually the director's wife in real life. And we talk about why that last line of the movie is one of the greatest final lines in cinema history and exactly why it works so well.
